To wrap a very large gift.
Purchase cheap paper party tablecloths and use those for wrapping paper.

I used this trick just yesterday!!
We bought a very large picture for Will's birthday and it wouldn't fit in a gift bag & I certainly didn't have enough wrapping paper for it!
I whipped out a tablecloth that we didn't use at Katie's grad party - worked like a charm!!

Last week I did a big gift basket for my aunt and wrapped it in a $1 white disposable plastic table cover, used a nice ribbon at the top and trimmed the top a bit and it looked great!

Sometimes we do the frugal things for so long, they become second nature and we forget that others might not think to try them.
